the PC crowd is on a roll this morning , all the morning news shows are carrying an item about US President Obama comparing his bowling skills to 'something akin to the Special Olympics '
Obama apologizes for Special Olympics gaffe

an 'apology' was issued soon afterwards , and I'm sure more grovelling will follow , so my question is ........where are we supposed to draw the line ? , maybe the quip was in poor taste , but I'm sure most people have said /thought similar after making a similar gaffe.
Incidentally the 'event' happened on a TV program which airs after the late night news at 11.30 pm , so in the main the only people who watch it are the folks who don't have to get up for work, Jobseekers, retirees and disabled (or should that be the unemployed, pensioners and incapcitated)
